Fulacht fia in Knockognoe

Fulacht fia

What is recorded here

Knockognoe holds a seven-metre circle of black earth and shattered red stone, marking a place where heat and water collided before the trough disappeared. The flat mound survives beside a field fence while the digging tool is gone, forcing imagination to complete what measurement stopped.
Fulacht fia described in 1985 by the 'Castleisland District Archaeological Survey' as a 'low roughly circular-shaped shaped mound (diam. 7.4m; H 0.15m) of black earth and burnt shattered red stone. There is no evidence of the trough area. Bordered by a drain and field fence on the east' (SMR File). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 27 April 2022
